The Budgetel brand has opened almost one property a month during its first year under franchising and management by Atlanta-based America’s Best Franchising, Inc., making it one of the fastest growing new brands in the hotel industry.
Today, there are 11 Budgetel Inns & Suites with 1,012 rooms in operation, including one in China. Another two properties are scheduled to open within the next 60 days.
“We had strong expectations for Budgetel when we acquired exclusive licensing rights for the brand, but the marketplace has been even more enthusiastic than anticipated,†explains Doug Collins, president and CEO of America’s Best Franchising.
